High voltage vacuum
circuit breaker

The OVX1100 and OVX720 series of high voltage vacuum circuit breakers are specially designed solid insulated vacuum circuit breakers modularized in 1-2-3 pole configurations. For railway feeder stations it comes with 1 & 2 poles construction, and with 3 poles for electrical transmission system. The product has extremely high mechanical endurance and outstanding electrical parameters with solid insulation and with high performance vacuum interrupters. This combination provides highly reliable maintenance free products with low life cycle costs. Gas free product, environmentally friendly.

HUGHES OVX720ADVANTAGES

The OVX720 has the following key advantages:

  • Solid insulated bushings (1) that exclude risk for SF6 or mix gas leakage and oil leakage;
  • High current vacuum interrupters (2) that will not produce any harmful switching products and are very easy to replace in comparison to gas insulated interrupters;
  • The OVX720 uses high-level insulated bushings (3) with polymeric surface that gives superior BIL rating;
  • The vacuum interrupter has an innovative design because the unit can be modularized between 1, 2 or 3 poles for different applications. Normally 1 and 2 poles versions are used for railway electrification and 3 poles version is used for electrical transmission systems including renewable energy sectors;
  • Low life cycle cost is guaranteed due to the combination of extremely high mechanical endurance and outstanding electrical parameters;
  • The circuit breaker is completely prewired which makes it an easily remote-controlled solution;
